Cant Out Run the Noise

The thoughts keep on coming
Frantic words run through my mind
I know you’ve tried to tell me
It’s hard to hear with a troubled mind

You were standing there beside me
I was a million miles away
They say you hurt the ones you love
I can’t forgive away my pain

I want to give in
Put it all to an end

Bury the words deep - down inside

I try to move on
Hoping I’ll be strong

Harsh words blistering my mind

Down on my knees
Begging you please
Praying for a life I can enjoy

Cause I can’t outrun the noise

I can’t out run the noise

Waking up this morning
Thinking this day will be fine
I down a cup of coffee
**** starts flowing through my mind

I try to quiet the manic sounds
Fight to blind the memories
But the voices just get louder
I can’t out run my history

I want to give in
Put it all to an end

Bury the words deep - down inside

I try to move on
Hoping I’ll be strong

Harsh words blistering my mind

Down on my knees
Begging you please
Praying for a life I can enjoy

Cause I can’t outrun the noise

I can’t out run the noise
